My whole family is fleeing

To be honest, when Wushan saw this small box of silver, he felt that this was indeed the case.General Xie has always been a generous and generous person, and the same is true for his subordinates.General Xie wanted to recruit him into his army a long time ago, but Wushan had his own beliefs and was unwilling. Unexpectedly, he still wouldn't give up now.

Of course, this is also General Xie's reward for Wushan, a civilian, who dared to break into a county suspected of having an epidemic.After being surprised, Wu Shan calmly closed the small box in his hand.It seems it's time to send food to the family.

Naturally, the You family also saw the small box of silver, but they pretended not to see it.Wushan has helped them a lot. This is what Wushan earned through life and death, and has nothing to do with them.Even Ning Ning's birthday ceremony this time was only because of Wushan's relationship that they were able to catch up with General Xie.They are not greedy, which is also the biggest advantage of Youjia people.

However, Wu Shan took out a piece of silver from the small box and gave it to Ning Ning.

The weight of this ingot of silver was not light for Ning Ning. She held it in her two small hands and raised her head to look at her grandfather in confusion.

"Grandpa?"

But Wu Shan reached out and rubbed Ning Ning's hair with a gentle expression.

"This is what you deserve."

Yes, if it were any other child, he wouldn't follow him around for so many days without even crying out in pain.This is the reward this kid deserves.What he saw and heard in Lu'an County may have been tragic, but Wu Shan hoped that Ning Ning would not become timid because of it.After all, there are more tragic things in this world than that.

At this time, Ning Ning seemed to understand in a daze why her grandfather gave her a piece of silver. She nodded and accepted it.Then he turned to look at his grandparents and other elders.But before she could say anything, Old Man You refused directly.

"You earned this by yourself, Ningning, and you should keep it by yourself. We have paid off most of the debts, and now we have built a house, and everyone is working hard. After the New Year, whether it is farming or Go out and look for work, which one can't make money? I can't ask for anything from you, a child."

"But……"

"good."

Ning Ning knew that no one would accept this ingot of silver.There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.Since no one wants it, she can use this ingot of silver freely.The ingot of silver in his hand is about 20 taels. This much money is a huge sum of money even in the eyes of adults such as You Laohan. It is even more for a child like Ning Ning, because it belongs entirely to him.Whose child has already earned several acres of good land at the age of four?

Ning Ning smiled and looked at the silver in her hand for a while, then casually put it in the small gift box given to her by General Xie. From now on, this small gift box would be her makeup box.

All in all, on the first day of the new year, the You family couldn't help but be happy for her when they saw that Ning Ning had received so many birthday gifts.When it was time to eat New Year's Eve dinner, it was a lot of fun again.

Grandma You is a good cook. Today's New Year's Eve dinner has a dish of pork and sauerkraut stewed vermicelli on the table. Grandma You bought the sauerkraut from the villagers and the vermicelli was bought in the county town a few days ago.This dish was not available in the You family's hometown before. After coming to the north, I learned it from the women in the village. Unexpectedly, it unexpectedly suited the You family's appetite.Grandma You also imitated the women in the village and added a lot of blood sausage and big bones to this dish, which made everyone's mouths full of flavor.

Ning Ning held a stick bone and gnawed on it. She liked to eat the sinewy meat on the head. Although people's teeth are not very strong, she likes to eat this kind of challenging food.Wu An watched from the side and was a little worried whether his daughter would lose her teeth from eating meat.

In the end, it was Grandma You who had the final say.

"It doesn't matter, their children will need to change their teeth when they are a little older!" Well, Wu An was no longer obsessed with what Ning Ning would eat.During the Chinese New Year, she didn't want her children to feel unhappy, so she could eat whatever she wanted, but it wasn't like she wasn't allowed to eat.

However, he still scooped out a small bowl of mellow pheasant soup from the side and placed it next to Ning Ning, letting her drink a bowl after eating.Pheasant soup is the most nourishing to the body. Ning Ning is still young, so she really needs to supplement it.

The custom in Qingshui Village is to have the New Year's Eve dinner early. After everyone has finished eating, it is still daylight. It is the time when the children are running around in the village, and Ningning and the Youjia children are no exception. Everyone walked in small groups to the lively places in the village.

Before leaving, everyone’s pockets were filled with snacks. Regardless of whether they had money on weekdays or not, those who had some savings would keep their children well-fed during the New Year.So when Ning Ning walked out, all she saw were smiling faces.

"Ah, you are the kid who lives at the end of the village, right?"

The group of children walked toward the center of the village, and naturally encountered groups of children.The older one among the group of children saw Ning Ning and the others, hesitated for a moment, and then came over. Although the elders in the family had told them not to talk to strangers, this family had already settled in their Qingshui Village, so they should also Not a stranger, right?What's more important is that these friends are all so beautiful.

He just likes good-looking people.

If someone takes the initiative to talk to someone, Ning Ning and the others will naturally not ignore them.

Ning Ning smiled and nodded.

"Yes, we live at the end of the village. Have a happy Chinese New Year! Happy New Year!"

"Ah, you too, you also have a prosperous New Year!"

The little boy who took the initiative to talk turned red for some reason.This little girl was so different from the ones he saw every day.And the words he said sounded so good.He is too stupid to say such flattering things.

With him taking the initiative, the rest of the children immediately swarmed around. To be honest, they had been in this village for so long and they were really interested in meeting unfamiliar people.

So the children of Youjia faced a wave of problems.

"Do you all have the surname You? Where did you live before? Why did you come to our Qingshui Village? What delicious food did you eat during the Chinese New Year? Why can I smell a strange fragrance on your bodies?..."

Good guy, these are too many questions. The children of Youjia answered them one by one. Their mouths felt dry, but what followed was an involuntary feeling of closeness.In the past few days, the You family has been worrying about making a living, so the children have not had much chance to play in the village. After all, they are happy to see friends of similar age.

Children always have their own way of playing, and soon the lively laughter spread far and wide.But at this moment, an unharmonious question made everyone quiet down instantly.

"Aren't you refugees fleeing from famine? You were almost starving to death before. How can you have money to eat meat now?"
